CultureGrams Access
Please take prompt action on this ProQuest/CultureGrams issue. Several districts/schools are reporting that they cannot access CultureGrams. Please try to login. If you are NOT able to do so, provide your IP address to INFO@rilink.org so that ProQuest can whitelist it. Instructions for finding your IP address are on RILINK website. Thanks for your attention to this.
Move to West Bay Collaborative
We have been working with the staff at the West Bay Collaborative to move under their umbrella. They are located at 99 James P. Murphy Highway in West Warwick. We will start replacing the EBEC headers and remittance address on our correspondence and billing, and will let you know about other changes as they are implemented. You will receive many reminders about this as the year goes on.
